SBIR Phase I: Materials Non-Destructive Evaluation Expert System

本文研究了建立无损评价专家系统的可行性。该研究将结合计算机增强的超声波信号处理、人工智能“学习”能力、最先进的断裂力学分析工具，以及所有相关的冶金和设计数据，以模拟专家小组的决策，这些决策通常涉及NDE数据的生成和处理。该演示系统将作为开发通用原型NDE专家系统的模型。

This research evaluates the feasibility of producing a Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) expert system. The study will incorporate elements of computer-enhanced ultrasonic signal processing, artificial intelligence "learning" capability, state-of-the-art fracture mechanics analytical tools, and all relevant metallurgical and design data necessary to emulate the decisions of the panel(s) of experts typically involved in generating and dispositioniong NDE data. The demonstration system will serve as a model for the development of a general purpose, prototype NDE expert system.
